Three women, aged 25, 28, and 61, were found seriously injured at their home in this neighborhood on Tuesday evening, and despite the efforts of police and rescue workers, all three died at the scene.
The victims were the wife and daughter of John Hunt, a horse racing commentator for the BBC, who discovered his relatives murdered upon returning from work at Lingfield Park Racecourse in south London.

Police said the suspect was found in Enfield, north London, about 27 km from the crime scene. He received medical treatment after being found with injuries.
Hertfordshire police have identified Kyle Clifford, 26, as the primary suspect. "The suspect has been apprehended and no one else is currently wanted in connection with the investigation," Inspector Justine Jenkins of the local Serious Crimes Unit said in a statement.
Clifford is believed to have used a crossbow and other weapons in the attack. British media reported that the suspect was the ex-boyfriend of one of the daughters. Police said Clifford "was someone the victims knew" and the attack was "premeditated".
The BBC reported that Clifford had served briefly in the British army and was discharged in 2022. The new Home Secretary, Yvette Cooper, called the incident "truly shocking" and added that she had been "fully informed".
A statement from a Home Office spokesperson said that Minister Cooper would "quickly review" the incident to introduce stricter controls on crossbow ownership.
